0.995 kg of gold and 5g of protium
Actually less than that because only around 10% of the gold created this way (assuming a natural distribution of Hg isotopes) would be stable, so you'd get a bunch of β particles too. I don't even know how Au-201 would act, and it would comprise 30% of the output.
21 minute half life beta decay back to mercury.
Half Life 3 confirmed alright
what if you remove another proton from that mercury isotope
It decays in like 40 minutes or something back into mercury. If you do it again you get a whole 2 days before, you guessed it, straight to mercury. We have the best elements in the world thanks to mercury.
